White House Games Meeting Thursday

The ESA will attend a meeting at the White House on Thursday, so there will be at
least one attendee at the summit the President called for
last week to see how much of the gun
violence in the U.S. can be blamed on video games. There were no invitations
sent out before the meeting was mentioned, but now
Business Insider reports the Entertainment Software Association says they
will meet with Trump administration officials, though no other
attendees have been named. Here's what the ESA says about the meeting: "The upcoming
meeting at the White House, which ESA will attend, will provide the opportunity
to have a fact-based conversation about video game ratings, our industry's
commitment to parents, and the tools we provide to make informed entertainment
choices." On a related note,
Vox
discusses the backlash to efforts to blame violence on video games, noting the
outrage of GamerGate movement, a group that claims some of Trump's earliest
supporters.
